Collection Updates via Email
Looking for weekly bin collection reminders delivered straight to your inbox?
Ensure your bin:
- is put out on the correct day for collection by 6am
- is unobstructed and placed at the edge of your property
- does not contain the wrong type of waste (recycling should be presented loose, and must be clean and dry)
Recycling and refuse collections take place fortnightly.
Unwanted textiles and small electrical items, when tied up tightly in a supermarket carrier bag and placed next to your bin, will be collected on your normal collection day.
Food waste collections
Food waste is collected weekly.
Please present your food waste bin at the edge of your property by 6am, alongside your other bin(s)
All food waste bins in Mole Valley are emptied using a separate collection vehicle.
This means it is important to keep your food caddy out until 4pm on your day of collection to ensure it is emptied.
